Dear Dads-

if you only

knew how

much your

drinking shrinks

your family’s souls

 

many days of

pain and misery

are felt and yet

they forgive you.

 

Years ago a

grown man walked

to church and paused

among the crowd-

 

he bent his head

and spoke softly to

himself oblivious

to those staring-

I forgave my dad too.

Thank you so much for your kind remarks. Each of us has a duty to listen to and within reason help those who are downtrodden or suffering from loss of confidence in overcoming their difficuties.

Dad was in World War 11 from 1941 to 1945, including two years in the Batte of Britain as an RCAF Canadian Intelligence Officer. Did you know the Allies' Bombers leaving England to bomb Germany in each mission numbered around 1,500 and once 3,500 bombers were sent out from England. Sadly around 250,000 Allied Airmen attacking Germany were killed or wounded during these total missions and greatly affected persons like my dad who helped direct our attacking forces.
